Howdy everyone! First time on here, I was on the IRC channel but it wasn’t quite getting my questions answered.
I was a big KiCAD user some ~8 years ago, and a couple friends use it. But some of us use windows and some linux.
What is the best version number to use so we can transfer files back and forth to work on them together without breaking things. This took a while to figure out last time, and when I checked into it a couple months back it seemed there just plain WASN’T a good cross-platform candidate.
There is this here where you can get pretty much the same bleeding edge on windows as what the linux folks are running.
File format wise (exchanging work) there should be no difference between linux/windows for the last versions anyway, same goes for libraries of the symbols, footprints or 3D models.
build 7601 is windows 7, the system this windows KiCAD had been compiled on afaik
The number you need to look for is BZR 6156.
From my own experience files are interchangeable from r5528 (first I used from that new site) up until the latest I got r6097.
